Episode 103 : Strap in for Galaxy Tours
With Celebration Europe now a fading memory, the team remain hungry for more Star Wars travels, and this month’s interview guest Davin Anderson joins Rich to discuss taking a tour to Tatooine - and the outskirts of Cairo in the 1930s, apparently. There’s a bumper New Acquisitions section as the lads tell all about their Celebration scores and other pick-ups, and try to stop Jason discussing every single piece of swag he’s collected. Action Figure Face-Off sees Pete try to defend Jason’s focus figure - how did he do? Andy P takes the role of quizmaster, boldly going where no host has gone before, and the boys pick out some fantastic finds from across the collecting community to discuss. In Rebel Briefings, there’s more con action, a look at grading and recent sales of modern retro figure prototypes, a report on Matt Fox’s May The Toys Be With You exhibition in Torquay, and a look at Lee Gregory’s Paleetoys playsets - now in production. The team also look at the upcoming Palitoy book from Bob Brechin, possible bogus Basa cardbacks, and a heartwarming tale of two old Polish ladies. This months licensee is a bit Random, as the lads run through the myriad of books and other oddments from US publisher Random House. All this and more, mixed with the customary fun and frivolity - you’ll find the podcast in all the usual places.
